The snow-knife is bone from a whale, seal, or caribou. The igloo is from the fallen snow. The clothing are furs from animals that were hunted with hand-made bows/arrows, hand-made traps, or other hand-made implements from wood, bone, sinew, leather. Nothing imported here and it is all cleaner/more chemical-free than anything I purchase from the well-run, organically-oriented grocery stores I frequent.

I have no desire to live the hard life dictated by Northerly conditions, but I admire the skill required to keep one's self, alive.
